"how many moles of calcium atoms are in 2.5 moles of calcium carbonate caco3"
Montano1993 [528]

Answer: -

2.5 moles of calcium atoms are in 2.5 moles of calcium carbonate CaCO₃

Explanation: -

In order to solve such types of problems, the first step would be to write the chemical formula of the compound.

The chemical formula of calcium carbonate = CaCO₃

The chemical symbol of Calcium is Ca.

From the formula of calcium carbonate we can see that

1 mole of CaCO₃ has 1 mole of Ca

2.5 mole of CaCO₃ has \frac{1 mole Ca }{1 mole CaCO₃} x 2.5 mole CaCO₃

= 2.5 mol of Ca.

∴2.5 moles of calcium atoms are in 2.5 moles of calcium carbonate CaCO₃

Which gas will diffuse at a faster rate, CH4 with a molar mass of 16 g or
vivado [14]

Answer:

CH₄ will diffuse at faster rate.

Explanation:

According to Graham's law,

The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of molar mas of gas.

It  is given in question the molar mass of CH₄ is 16 g. Thus the square rot of 16 is.

√16 = 4

The molar mass of SO₂ is 64 g and the square root is,

√64 = 16

As it is stated that diffusion rate is inversely related to the square root of molar mass thus the diffusion rate of  SO₂ is lower while methane diffuse faster.

The names of monatomic anions are formed by replacing the ending of the name of the element with
ziro4ka [17]
The answer is - ide.

That is how you name the anions in a ionic compound, you replace the ending of the name of the element with ide.

Some examples:

Ionic compound            anion            name of the anion

NaCl                                Cl-                 chloride

KF                                    F-                  fluoride

NaI                                   I-                    iodide

CaBr2                              Br-                 bromide

How does an electron emit a photon?
Rudiy27

Answer:

The electron stays in an excited state for a short time. When the electron transits from an excited state to its lower energy state, it will gice off the same amound of energy needed to raise to that level. This emitted energy is a photon.
